Caminargent are sought after bicycles, the accessories are sought after as in stems etc. But then I find I have a Caminargent pump, likely a small run made by AdHoc. As far as I know, unique. Could be wrong of course. The las t thing I needed. Anyway, anybody interested in oggling a Caminargent embos sed pump complete with original water decal can visit http://tinyurl.com/6w ase6

This isn't bragging or flashing, it's not an item I'm very interested in, b ut for the record, the thing is photographed from one end to the other.

Is it genuine ? Definitely. It fell of a Caminargent (one supposes) in a pi le of bikes a friend is kindly storing for me until I find the space and mo tivation to start work on 'em. Friend found it on the ground, plonked it on a shelf, and when I dropped round saw a pump and thought "Nice, that'll fi t on a old junker". Anyway, it would be cheaper or at least easier to fake some gear with a pantograph machine than make up one of these pumps. Whilst on that subject, there is a French expression which goes "On ne fait d'un âne un cheval de course", which means that you can't turn a donkey int o a racing horse. Unless you have a pantograph machine of course. So friend s, a word of advice if I may, don't put any money on a pantographed donkey, even if it looks looks a surefire winner at 200/1.
